At 6-6 and 280 pounds, Epenesa is widely regarded as one of the top prospects in this year’s draft class and could end up as a top-ten pick in April’s draft. 

Dane Brugler has Epenesa rated as the No. 14 player in the 2020 draft class. 

During his three-year college career, Epenesa recorded 101 total tackles, 26.5 sacks, nine forced fumbles, one recovery, one defensive touchdown and seven pass defenses in 37 career games.
